Manage Your Router
Note:
If you want all local devices can manage the router, just leave the IP/MAC Address field blank.
17. 7. 3. Remote Management
By default, the remote devices are not allowed to manage the router from the internet.
You can enable remote management over HTTP and/or HTTPS if needed. HTTPS is a
more secure way to access the router.
Note:
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), you cannot use the remote management
feature because private addresses are not routed on the internet.
Follow the steps below to allow remote devices to manage the router over HTTPS.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net or http://192.168.0.1, and log in with the password you set
for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > System Tools > Administration, and locate the Remote
Management section.
3. Enable Remote Management and Remote Management via HTTPS to allow for
HTTPS connection. Keep the Port as the default setting.
4. Set the client device allowed for remote management. Select All to allow all remote
devices to manage the router. If you just want to allow a specific device to manage
the router, select Only the Following IP/MAC Address and enter the IP/MAC address
of the remote device.
5. Click Save.
